What if true freedom isn’t just the right to keep moving, but also the right to stop? In this episode, Rabbi Oren Hayon shares a story from his rabbinical school days in Jerusalem, when an elderly man in a black hat would pause his slow walk to shul each Shabbat to wag his finger at every passing car.

That image opens into a rich exploration of Shabbat as an “encampment in time,” rooted in this week’s Torah portion and Israel’s long list of wilderness journeys. Rabbi Hayon reflects on contemporary debates in Israel about religious authority, the Exodus from Egypt, and the ways our modern lives—full of “getting and spending,” as Wordsworth wrote—threaten our inner spaciousness.

Shabbat, he suggests, is our weekly refusal to return to Egypt and our chance to stop acting like pharaohs to ourselves. For one day, we lay down what we’re carrying, let urgency loosen its grip, and step out of the rushing current so our souls can catch up with our bodies.
